Similarly, a 2023 Women in Sports Dream Deficit Report shows that 82% of girls believe female sport isn’t taken as seriously as men’s.
Harlequins Foundation in Twickenham is now fundraising to try and raise more money for its girl’s rugby programme SWITCH.
It’s hoped the programme will increase the number of girls playing rugby while developing skills to succeed on and off the pitch.
The Foundation has joined the national Big Give campaign.
Every donation made between now and Tuesday will be match funded so that the money raised will be doubled.
